  1. I'm suggesting he gets rid of it but I have no personal interest in it at all 😊 Not enough strings for one.
  2. Ok. These aren't ceramic pickups though?
  3. Tried one in Andertons recently and it was truly magnificent. Did you mean neodymium pickup?
  4. Agree with this. The M series are really uncommon.
  5. Your personal testimony speaks for itself and is in conflict with keeping it. Be careful what you type 🀭
  6. Get rid of it. Don't let this be about money. Sell it and move on. That's still more than you paid for it all those years ago.
  7. And if that's not enough it has the audacity to be a string short πŸ˜‚ Taking my own thoughts and feelings out of this and being as objective as I know how,this post from you is pretty much giving you the actual answer to the conundrum and may lead to the beginning of the end of this thread.
  8. I tried one of these in Wunjo's that had the noisy bridge pickup issue. What's your one like in that respect?
  9. Lovely bass. I've been noticing it on and off over the years when it was in Bass Direct and then Bassbros. The certificate says 2016 though and not 2015?
  10. Yes indeed I've had USA 5 string Fenders with those bridge types AND the Sire Vintage V7 also has them. Being the fussy git I am I found that when the 19mm spacing on them was realised, the pickup pole pieces didn't line up with the strings. First world problems eh? πŸ˜„
  11. Ironically I really like the bridge on my aforementioned Fender as it has 19mm string spacing which is a fraction larger than the typical Fender 5 string bridge.
  12. There is a perceived deficit between Mexican and US/MIJ that I feel is more historical. My 2021 Player Plus Jazz V tells me the gap doesn't really exist like it used to if at all-and I've owned several US made Fenders in the past πŸ™‚
  13. Is this in reference to a SR5 in particular? I've noticed the used prices of them (pre Stingray Special) has jumped up quite a bit.
  14. Makes me want to cry into my pillow that this never happened with the 5s πŸ₯Ή
  15. Hi there. I get answers re the string spacing on these fluctuate between 18 and 19mm. What do you make yours please?
  16. What helped me somewhat with nerves when I was first gigging was realising that bright stage lights make the audience more difficult to see.
  17. @kwmlondon I'm really keen to find out what your decision will be as and when you arrive there. Can I ask why you feel 4s aren't for you anymore?
  18. I would see what Alan Cringean at ACG Guitars could do for you first. That will probably violate your 1 month max wait criteria though so maybe not...
  19. I've never heard this before but my goodness it's loaded with truth.
  20. I know what you mean. My last recording session was at a mate's house in his living room on his MAC using Logic Pro. There was so much intervention from it that a part of me was wondering what I was even doing there! I felt like I was playing second fiddle to the software.
  21. Really depends. I can't imagine Another Brick in the Wall any other way.
  22. @kwmlondon what are you thinking so far? 99.99% of the suggestions here lean towards you keeping it. I have a suspicion you'll take that advice but then readdress this again in less than a year? 😁 I would NOT be saying this if you still played 4s ☺️
  23. But remember that if you were in his position you would no longer be interested in 4s 😊
  24. Also consider this. I know I'm going against the general "keep it" grain here but a bass like that should be in the hands of someone who will use it. There'll be no shortage of takers and you'll forget about it quicker than you think. From an investment point of view it's already worth more than you paid for it so...
